Kingfisher close ups

If there is anything predictable about Kingfisher behaviour it must be that they are unpredictable !  I had sight of this female below on eight occasions during the day but waiting for her to perch on her predicted favourite perch to pose for a few remote fired portraits was a tad frustrating as she perched and fished from anywhere but.  Seven and a half hours after starting I finally grabbed the images below as she downed her last fish of the day.
